Safety Guidelines  
To avoid personal injury and property damage, carefully follow all the safety steps listed  
below when accessing your system or handling the components.  
1-1 ESD Safety Guidelines  
Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage  
to your system, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are  
generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.  
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.  
Touch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistatic  
bag.  
Handle the add-on card by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral  
chips, memory modules or gold contacts.  
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.  
Put the card and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.  
1-2 General Safety Guidelines  
Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components from  
the computer.  
Disconnect the power cable before installing or removing any cables from the  
system.  
Make sure that the add-on card is securely and properly installed on the  
motherboard to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.

This section describes the front connectors, jumpers and LEDs found on the  
AOC-R1UG-IBQ add-on card.  
QSFP Port  
The AOC-R1UG-IBQ card contains a single QSFP port. This port allows the  
AOC-R1UG-IBQ add-on card to connect to a QSFP passive copper network cable at  
speeds of up to 40 Gbps using four channels. This connector offers four times the  
density of traditional SFP ports and support speeds up to 10 Gb/s per channel.  
LEDs  
The AOC-R1UG-IBQ add-on card contains an LED that is used to display activity as  
well as link-up of the port. See Table 2-2 for LED color and blinking definitions.

J1 Jumper  
The J1 jumper is used to tell the Mellanox chip that there is a Flash ROM present in the  
system. If the jumper is closed (enabled) it means that no Flash ROM is present, while  
open (disabled) means that a Flash ROM is present.  
J2 Jumper  
The J2 jumper is used for engineer debugging only.
